Performance – Vectorize MCTS Selection #6

Description

@Codex-Crusader

The PUCT formula in MCTS._simulate is implemented in a Python loop.

Problem:

  1. Python loops are slow for performance-critical code
  2. Selection bottlenecks MCTS speed

Impact:

  1. Slower search simulations
  2. Limits self-play throughput

Recommendation:

  1. Store node statistics (Q, N, P) in NumPy arrays
  2. Perform PUCT calculation for all child nodes in a single vectorized operation
